Seats & Safety Belts Center Passenger Position (CONT.) The center position bucket seatis a CENTER OR LEFTtype seat. Because it is the only bucket seat with a lap belt, and has a buckle on only one side, there are certain places a CENTER OR LEFT type bucket seat should, and should not, be used. See the Index under Seat Controls. If the CENTER OR LEFT bucket seat is used on the left side of the vehicle, the person sittingthere should use the lap-shoulder belt. It works the sameway as the driver's safety belt, See the Index under Driver Position. Children Everyone in a vehicle needs protection! That includes infants and all children smaller than adult size. In fact, the law in every state and Canadianprovince says children up to some age must be restrained while in a vehicle. Smaller children and babies should always be restrained in a chiId or infant restraint. The instructions for the restraint wiU --ywhether it is the right type and for your child. A very young child's hip bones are so small that a regular belt might not stay low on the hips, as it should. Instead, the belt will likely be over the child's abdomen. In a crash the belt would apply force right on the child's abdomen, which could cause serious or fatal injuries. So, be sure that any child small enough for one is always properly *strained in a chiid or infimt straint. 34
